Youth in Asia 1,086 Posted October 27, 2018 Apparently he was seen getting in to the helicopter with his wife, but not his son, so I guess his son will take over. Not nice news, but I'm not a particular fan of King Power duty free shops, especially the annoying way they are positioned at BKK airport so you have to navigate through them to get to your gate as a way to force you to buy something (to be fair it's the same in most airports these days, but BKK back in 2006 was one of the first).

Not sure how to read the data plan you provided @Cat O'Falk, so they last transmitted from around 1600’ and 245 mph, all looks normal to me for a flight descending to land, though they had a good 70 land miles to go.

SC The last transmission from the ADS-B says they were descending at 29,504 feet per minute at an altitude of 1,325 feet. There are reports of no large pieces of debris which would mean they hit the ground at considerable speed. They seem to have deviated from the usual flight path by making a left hand turn towards the bay before the rapid descent. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

En Passant 3,741 Posted February 24, 2019 Yes, clearly completely lost it at that point. Right then a left sweep looking at least partially controlled, followed by something like a wingover straight into the deck? Increasing loss of control becoming total at that point? Fire maybe?
